Template

To clarify, PageLines Framework isn't a theme. It's a framework, which means that it acts like an engine. You can design your Framework installation to have a particular style or appearance, or, you can use any one of dozens of existing premium or free child themes. The Base Theme will pick up any settings, styling or coding created in the Framework. If you use a pre-built child theme, the look of your site will change, but the Base Theme will not affect it.

A child theme works 'under' the framework, so it picks up the power, resources and settings of the framework to give the child theme functionality. Since I used the 'engine' metaphor, let's liken this to having a car engine and chassis. It doesn't matter if you make it look like a Ford, a Rolls Royce, or a Ferrari; the horsepower will be the same.

Thus even if you activate Base Theme or any other child theme, they call upon the Framework for their power, to make them 'go'.

Thank you - I'm not clear on how this integrates with the PageLines Framework. If I want to keep my website as is but use the child theme for only one custom page, is that possible? Or will activating the child theme undo work I've done on the templates?

Hi there, the Pagelines Base theme is a blank theme, so it display your site exactly as see it now as technically it's has no styling etc.

Any style changes you make to the style.css of the base theme will be site wide but using the Pagelines meta settings and template options you can control what appears on each page. For example if you add a custom template you can choose to use that template only on one page.

I have just upgraded to the paid pageline and have been watching the videos. In the template video 2.1 it says to get to templates go to dashboard / pageline and templates but I am nbot seeing templates there. How can I get to them and edit them?
